Is varicocele a serious condition?

Patient's question:

I am 33 years old. I experienced varicocele a while ago, and I took medication to treat it, but it has reappeared recently. Please ask: Is varicocele serious?

Doctor's answer:

Varicocele is severe. Varicocele can be treated with medication or surgery. Varicocele mainly affects the function of the testicles. Varicocele can cause the temperature of the testicles to be too high, increase sperm mortality, affect sperm quantity, and thus affect the patient's fertility. In severe cases, it can affect sexual function, thereby affecting sexual life. Therefore, surgical treatment is recommended. We generally recommend surgical treatment.
